Plastic Paint Palettes

[far4ngn]

I use a small paint palette when pouring or mixing paint.  I've tried a paper palette and a wet palette, but looking or something easy to clean when finished.

What do you all use?

Upside down coat d'arms paint pot.
Once dry, flick off.
Or an old saucer.

I don't use a palette but a white saucer sounds good to me.

I have a small 'flower' style paint palette. It has about 8 separate sections to I can use a different one for each colour, so I minimise any cross contamination issues if a colour isn't quite dry when I reuse that well.

It is a kind of plastic that acrylic paint doesn't really adhere to, so every few months I peal off the now solid block formed of many layers of paint. This comes off very easily, and can then be fun to cut in half to see all the layers of paint 

I've never tried a wet palette - suspect with the UK ambient temperatures it's not that vital, as paint rarely dries before I am done with it.

I have a couple of plastic palettes about the size of a small side plate with a larger central well and ten small hemispherical pits around the edge.

As fred says, the paint doesn't adhere to the plastic and can be peeled off as a layer of mixed colours.

I'll also echo fred's view on ambient temperatures and wet palettes here in the UK. More specifically Scotland, in my case.

Old plastic bottle lids from milk, fruit juice etc. Again, once the dried paint has built up I just scrape it off.

Oh, I like that idea. Used to use an old ceramic tile, but I'll give this a go next time I get the paints out.

I use a 6 section straight plastic palette, but also a wet palette from Army Painter. I use the wet palette if I'm going to be doing something over 2 days, makes touch ups easier.

I have heard of using poppers fidget toys. They can be "popped" to make the cleaning easier. Not tried it myself.

This one £6.99 on Amazon

Most of the time for small amounts of paint I use an white ceramic tile. When I need to clean it  I scape it with a Stanley mini scraper that holds a razor blade.(see below).

I use a very small plastic palate for mixing larger quantities, but find they never really clean properly getting stained

I fill my plastic pallet with Dettol and leave overnight.
I then slaver PVA glue into it. When dried the PVA gives a coat which is easy to pull off.
